Easter Comes Early This Year Easter this year will be one week earlier than in 192.4, falling on April 12th.

D. 280, in writing about the Easter festival says: ".All Christians essembled everywhere as members of one family.

Even the little children put on their new clothes and were bright and happy."?Lancaster News Negro Leaves Large Estate ; According' to the Spartanburg 1 Journal, an estate of $19,857, of j which more than $10,000 was listed j as cash deposits in banks, was left j by M.
